Favre to FOX?

Our friends at the RanchReport.com recently met with former Cowboys coach Barry Switzer, who may have revealed Brett Favre's football plans for this fall.

It appears that former Green Bay Packers quarterback Brett Favre may be on a televsion set on game days this fall instead of the field. Former Dallas Cowboys coach Barry Switzer recently indicated as much to RanchReport.com's Mike Fisher.

Switzer was on FOX's studio show last year, pairing him as a "Grumpy Old Man" with longtime friend/nemesis Jimmy Johnson. But Switzer told Fisher on Friday that while the network is still negotiating with him about a role, FOX may replace him on its totem pole with another legendary name.

"Well, they’re talking to Favre," said Switzer at Oklahoma University Honorary Degree luncheon on the school’s campus. "I still think they want me involved in some way. But with Brett. ... they might pair him in a segment with (Terry) Bradshaw, I don’t know. ... It’s a lot of fun for me, but there’s only so much time (available) on that show. And, hey, he’s Brett Favre!"

Since officially announcing his retirement, Favre has indirectly indicated that he may consider returning to play football. He has always downplayed any future role in television after his football career, but that may soon change for the future Hall of Famer.

Well that could explain his whole dancing around the "returning to football role"... maybe it is in a different capacity but still "seeing action" on Sundays.. with the rest of the week to due as he may.. but at this point, because it is being negotiated he can't address it as these are my plans because they might devalue any package Fox or another network might offer.

Could be interesting. His personality doesn't really fit the TV analyst or commentator role IMHO (a compliment to Fav-re). But no matter what he would still be an upgrade over some of the people out there...

He can just man the "Weekly Favre Tribute" desk - We all know we'll miss them prior to any of the more recent game he's played in so why not have the man himself edit the spot and maybe even narrate it??
